Advances in medical care during the past hundred years have been phenomenal. Before modern times, little could be done to overcome life-threatening situations from injury, trauma, or disease. Most interventions were counterproductive; they did more harm than good. It has been during the last 30 years that medicine has been able to save more lives than cause death.
在过去的一百年里，医疗保健取得了惊人的进展。在现代之前，几乎无法采取什么措施来克服由伤害、创伤或疾病引起的危及生命的情况。大多数干预措施都适得其反，弊大于利。正是在过去30年里，医学能够挽救的生命比导致死亡的更多。
